eHealth Small Business

After discovering areas of opportunity with our Small Business Group, eHealth led several initiatives to help create tools to allow our agents to be more efficient and to move the business online.

First the process started with a deep dive research project that involved visiting small business owners in both Houston, Tx and San Francisco,CA to figure out how they thought about business insurance, how they researched it, if they had it it, and if they didn't why not.

Small Business User Research

Who?

Small business owners with 2-10 employees in the health, tech and professional services sectors who either have health insurance, has provided before, or who plans on enrolling in the future.

What?

General information (industry, # of employees, general stresses), Insurance needs, how they bought their insurance, future needs, previous experiences shopping for plans, how do they use their insurance, what causes them to switch

Why?

Validate assumptions, figure out what tools to build

Deliverables:

Presentation of findings, spreadsheet of findings stakeholders could use to parse through data easily, stakeholder persona workshop to create personas to use in product development.

Site Enhancements

eHealth Small Business Homepage

Starting from the top of the funnel, the homepage was outdated and needed some improvements. Insights from user research had indicated the call to:

Redesign the SEO landing pages to have less text and a more compelling call to action

Consider making the number of providers and plans more prominent

Consider providing prominent information on the home page about what services eHealth provides and the purpose of the website

Consider providing information about representatives such as their location (for example, U.S.-based)
